Video: Heavy machinery street fight in China

19/04/2016

Workers from two rival companies decided to settle their differences in a highly unusual way on Sunday (local time) as they used front-end loaders to battle on the streets of Xingtang County in north China's Hebei Province.

The brawl, which involved at least six bulldozers, was captured on video by a witness.

In the video, two front-end loaders are seen ramming each other with their shovels, while other vehicles attempt to evade the melee. A few seconds later one of the front-end loaders is toppled over by the other as more drivers entered the fray.

The fight came to an end when the police arrived.

Two front-end loaders were toppled over and left two drivers injured. The six vehicles were damaged to various extents.

It is unclear as to what sparked the clash, but reports have said it was between two construction companies in intense competition for business.
